Debugging ld.so.1

Hi,
how can I debug the dynamic linker? I've set up gdbserver and it works
fine, even for dynamic libraries. I just can't debug /lib/ld.so.1, the
dynamic linker.
According to
http://developer.axis.com/doc/software/tools/gdb/sharedlibs.html , gdb
sets a breakpoint in the dynamic linker in order to make debugging of
shared libraries possible. Sounds like a chicken and egg problem to me.
Any ideas?
Best regards, Uwe
